Promise Your Configured Items

You can create a bill of resources to promise a configured item.

Oracle Order Management sends details about the configured item to Oracle Global Order Promising at run time, including the item, option classes, and optional components that you selected in each option class.

Promising can promise these types of configured items:

Type of Configured Item Description
Assemble to Order (ATO) Item that you configure at run time from standard parts or subassemblies.

Promising schedules the configuration as a single, shippable unit.

Pick to Order (PTO) Item that you pick off the shelf, and that your customer assembles at their site.
PTO Kit Container item that has a structure of standard items that you pick to order. You order the kit but your fulfillment organization promises, picks, and ships each component as a shipment set. Order Management separates the kit into its individual components. Promising then schedules each component individually and promises them as a sing shipment set.

For background about ATOs, PTOs, and kits, see Overview of Configure-to-Order.
